Kelly Phillips Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Cumberland Falls KY Hey everyone. I finally got to see Cumberland Falls yesterday. I live in Southern KY and I just never had time to make the 3 hour drive before. I couldn't really go during the best light. I had to be back home before dark. I shot these in the middle of the day which was difficult to say the least. It was mainly a trip for me to "be there" and enjoy the day and maybe get a couple snapshots along the way. I'm suprised at how well my mark 3 brought stuff out of the shaddows. These cleaned up pretty nice with little post work. Stuff I used: canon mark 3, canon 16-35mm f/2.8, canon 70-200mm f/2.8, lots of sweat Enjoy. Critique if you want, but I already know the light is bad. Plus everyone has seen a waterfall, right? 1: For scale: 2: closer 3: sure looks small here 4: 5: saw this on the way out. I couldn't pass it up. 6: Not sure what kind of flower this is but I like it. 7: Last one. There were alot of nice rocks for a foreground. May 29, 2009 at 03:55 PM

silvershoes Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · Cumberland Falls KY Neat photos. You need to go back and shoot the moonbow. The flower is mountain laurel, kalmia latifolia. May 29, 2009 at 04:00 PM

Kelly Phillips Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · Cumberland Falls KY Thank you, for the ID and compliment. I wonder if any of our FM friends have photos of the moonbow....They had some on display at the park but they weren't very good. to FMers Post 'em if you got 'em please. May 29, 2009 at 04:21 PM

Ernie Aubert Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #6 · Cumberland Falls KY I like #2! May 30, 2009 at 04:35 AM

Bandi Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · Cumberland Falls KY Looks like a great spot Kelly and you've come away with some nice shots. 3 and 4 would be my picks Anthony May 30, 2009 at 05:05 AM

bfreas Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #8 · Cumberland Falls KY Good job Kelly! Looks like you had plenty of water going over the falls. I like #1 because of the scale. That's something that is hard to capture in most of the shots I've seen from here. Most shots look like a not-so-large falls until you see something like this! Still looking forward to seeing you at a Sunny 16 club meeting. Let's get out and shoot sometime. May 30, 2009 at 02:53 PM

Kelly Phillips Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · Cumberland Falls KY Thanks for all of the comments. It was tough lighting but I did come away with some I'm proud of. I keep meaning to join sunny 16, but man, I just have no time anymore. May 30, 2009 at 06:59 PM

KirkB Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #11 · Cumberland Falls KY All things considered as you have mentioned... still a nice series Kelly. 3 and 4 are my favorites... very nice use of foreground, nice comps. Well done for midday. Kirk May 30, 2009 at 09:28 PM

kscott_99 Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · Cumberland Falls KY nice shots, next time you go make sure you take time to take the 3 mile round trip just around the corner from cumberland falls to eagle falls...it's a bit of a sneak with steep steps and a trek at the bottom of the steps over logs jammed at the bottom but keep on the visible path and its just around a rock outcropping at the bottom...its a gem. Kevin. May 31, 2009 at 03:31 AM

bshamilton Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #13 · Cumberland Falls KY Very cool location and nice takes in the harsh conditions. I like your compos a lot! Any chance to shoot with morning or evening lighting? Really like the stop action of the 2nd, and the comp in the 4th is excellent! Barry May 31, 2009 at 12:36 PM

Kelly Phillips Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #14 · Cumberland Falls KY Thanks Kirk, Kevin, and Barry. Kevin, I wanted to take the Eagle falls trip, but I just ran out of time. I did see the falls from the other side of the river. It was a rough trip going over logs and huge rocks along the river's edge, but I loved it. Barry, I will be going back for sure. It's only 3 hours from home and I really enjoyed the place. I would think that mornings are nicer than evenings there. I will have to camp out next time. May 31, 2009 at 04:36 PM
